VASE or?
Solo exhibition Nora Fuchs, Berlin November 2024

In the solo exhibition, various works on the subject of tipping points were shown, on the one hand the reconstruction of a vase as an intervention in public space in Iceland 2024, on the other hand the work Weather Forecast, a video installation about the change in the weather recorded in Stödvarfjödur, accompanied by a sound collage about international weather reports in June 2024. The film was completed in October 2024 and shown as an immersive video installation in a solo exhibition Atelierrundgang Schöneberg.

Sound and video installation
Pictures taken in Stödvarfjödur / June 2024 mixed with sound snippets from international weather reports, loop, 20 minutes, mixed media and three cardboard houses. Showed in November 2024 in the Studio in Berlin.

Excerpts from the diary about the attempt to reverse a vase reconstruction:

Diary about the attempt to reverse a process

10 found fragments. An experiment with shards found on a staircase in Stöðvarfjörður: Does anyone know anything about the history of the vase? I posted it on Instagram, but I didn't get a response.

I reconstruct the vase and returned it to the place where it was found.I got information about the story of the house: it is the accommodation for workers in the fishing industry or other businesses. Most of them only live there on a daily basis. The house could have been the old postoffice.

After some days: The vase was probably knocked over by the wind. After the first time, I simply put it upright again. The second time it fell down the stairs. It is now supported by a wooden base that has been temporarily glued together with hot glue. This time the vase contained flowers to be noticed.

After the third fall, there are now 14 shards instead of 10. I decide not to damage the vase any more and put the pieces back where I found them, one by one, just as I found them."
